Prayers
For those of you who don't know my Mom, Suzanne Campbell, is in the hospital. In 2010 doctors discovered a growth in her back. Since it was benign and not growing they said to leave it alone and keep an eye on it. It was too close to her spine to remove. Within the past month her back pain had returned and caused her T-9 vertebrae to collapse. She has been in excruciating pain for the past few days and is awaiting surgery. They are planning the surgery within the next week or two after testing and mapping on Monday/Tuesday. They have just barely been able to find the right amount of heavy pain medicine to keep her comfortable, which is a huge relief. Plans change each day as to the best procedure for her. She is in no danger of spinal damage which we are grateful for. She is anticipating a long road to recovery so if you would keep her in your thoughts and prayers she would really appreciate it.
I was thinking of putting together a slideshow for her of the people she loves that are far away. If you would like to send me a picture or short video expressing your love for her I'm sure it would really brighten up her day! I'll compile them and bring them on my trip Wednesday, April 2nd. If you could have them sent to me by Monday night at the latest that would be great! My email address is abigailbonney@gmail.com.
Thanks for your love and concern!

The Significance of the Sacrament
"The partaking of these emblems constitutes one of the most holy and sacred ordinances of the church."
How are you preparing for the sacrament each week? What makes the sacrament meaningful to you?
It is impossible for weak mortals, and we are all weak, to fully comprehend the extent of the suffering of the Son of God. We cannot realize the price He had to pay.
“For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; but if they would not repent, they must suffer even as I; which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit; and would that I might not drink the bitter cup and shrink—nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.” [D&C 19:16–19.]
...If we fully appreciated the many blessings which are ours through the redemption made for us, there is nothing that the Lord could ask of us that we would not anxiously and willingly do.
Lesson 7, Joseph Fielding Smith

Faith and Repentance
Our lesson came from the Joseph Fielding Smith Manual, chapter 5, discussing Faith and Repentance.
President Joseph Fielding Smith taught, “The forgiveness of sins comes through faith and sincere repentance.”1 He said that “it is necessary, not merely that we believe, but that we repent,” and he also taught that when we perform good works in faith until the end, we will “receive the reward of the faithful and a place in the Celestial kingdom of God.”
